Wonder if Ann Curry’s seat was still warm? Savannah Guthrie co-hosted the Today show Friday morning, stepping in after Curry tearfully said goodbye on Thursday. NBC announced Friday that Guthrie will replace Curry, who co-hosted the show with Matt Lauer for the past year and has worked on the program for 15 years. The show did not address Curry’s absence or Guthrie’s presence on Friday, and she stayed on to host the 9 a.m. hour of the show, her normal hosting hour.
